2014 Art Practices: Public Practice – Teaching Assistant

Students designed and presented concepts for public art to the University City Arts and Letter Commission, as part of the 29th Annual University City Sculpture Series. The Arts and Letters Commission then awarded four students a commission to realize their project in full scale. During the class students learned how art’s function changes when presented in the public realm and what role the artist plays when engaging with the community. The following are the finished art commissions.
